The Constitution of the Sate of Oregon is amended by creating a new
section to be added to and made a part of Article 1.  The new section shall
be known as "The Minority Status and Child Protection Act" and will read as
follows:

Section 41:  Minority Status based on Homosexuality Prohibited.

(1) In the State of Oregon, including all political subdivisions and 
government units, minority status shall not apply to homosexuality; 
therefore, affirmative action, quaotas, special class or special 
classification such as "sexual orientation," "domestic partnerships" or
similar designations shall not be established on the basis of homosexuality.

(2) Children, students and employees shall not be advised, instructed or 
taught by any government agency, department or political unit in the 
State of Oregon that homosexuality is the legal or social equivalent of
race, color, religion, gender, age or national origin; nor shall public
funds be expended in a manner that has the purpose or effect of promoting
or expressing approval of homosexuality.

  (a) The State of Oregon, political subdivisions and all units of state
and local governments shall not grant marital status or spousal benefits
on the basis of homosexuality.
  (b) The State of Oregon, political subdivisions and all units of state 
and local governments, with regards to public employees, shall generally
consider private lawful sexual behavior as non-job related factors, provided
such factors do not disrupt the workplace and that such consideration does 
not violate subsections (1) and (2).
  (c) Though subsections (1) and (2) are established and in effect, no 
unit of state or local government shall deny to private persons business 
licenses, permits or services otherwise due under existing status; nor 
deprive, nullify or diminish the holding or exercise of any rights 
guaranteed by the Constitution of the State of Oregon or the Constitution
of the United States of America.
  (d) Though subsections (1) and (2) are established and in effect, this
section shall not limit the availability in public libraries of books and
materials written for adults which address homosexuality, provided access
to such materials is limited to adults and meets local standards as 
established through the existing library review process.

 (3) The People Intend, that if any part of this enactment be found 
unconstitutional, the remaining parts shall survive in full force and effect.
This Section shall be in all parts self-excecutin.
